Quoting the French philosopher and poet Paul Valéry‚ Wilson explained‚ “Tastes … are composed of a thousand distastes” (Wilson 11).

In my opinion‚ neither Holden nor Luce is more mature than the other. They both do more or less the same things that cause them to be immature in comparison to one another‚ and therefore‚ the things that they do that prove their maturity are overruled.
